            Well, I heard "Still you turn me on" by ELP and "Long Distance
    Runaround" by Yes pretty recently here in the Baltimore/DC area. But,
    those are still among the commonly played songs by those bands. When
    I lived in Pittsburgh, 102.5 WDVE used to play Yes's "Starship Trooper",
    "And You and I", "Changes", along with the more common songs like "Owner...",
    "All Good People", "Long Distance Runaround", "Roundabout", etc... They also
    played "Karn Evil 9 (2nd impression)" and a few other ELP tunes (including
    "Mars the Bringer of War (!)). Last time I was there, they've moved to a
    modern and classic rock style so I doubt they play Yes or ELP as often.
    Here in Baltimore/DC Yes and ELP just don't seem to be as popular, though
    they do play the above rarer songs once in a blue moon.
